Accidentally uninstalled windows media center
I bought a laptop last Christmas and it had various pre-installed
stuff that I did not want and uninstalled them. A few weeks later and I have been trying use the windows media center remote to watch tv on my Toshiba Qosimio G40. So far I have'nt found it and I think I may of unintentionally uninstalled it. I have been to Microsoft web page and have been looking to try and download the package or drivers for Windows Media Center. Unfortunately I have not found it on their web site. I could just reinstalled the recovery disc that I came with the laptop but that would be inconvienient as I have a load of sofware and files I would have to reinstall ect after the recovery. Does any one know how I can get Windows Media Center back on my laptop without having to use the recovery cd? Is there somewhere where I can download the package again? Regards Sean.

Accidentally uninstalled windows media center
Thank you for your assistance.
Yes I found it. But when I click on it I get a message; (Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. For more details contact your system administrator). I have switch off user account control. So I don't know how next to proceed? I am running vista home premium. I have the remote with it also. It has batteries and a led that comes on when you press a button. Regards Sean.
